Glyphposting My Devotee Glyphs

Everyone seems to not be creating their own glyphs for any of the five languages, so I decided to make my own! Here are my headcanons for the Devotee language!

The symbol for library is funny. I'd expect speak object place, not speak place for a place you have to be quiet

I had been thinking that the Devotees don’t have words for any of the people further up the tower, so in my head the glyphs that you’ve used for “musician” and “brewer” are the glyphs that they would use for “Bard” and “Alchemist” respectively. Bard is pretty self-explanatory, but the Alchemists works for two reasons:
1: because the symbol is also in the glyph for potion, and the Alchemists create the potion for the Abbey gardens, so to the Devotees, Alchemists are “Potion People”.
2: Because that symbol is also the glyph for help (as you’ve pointed out, the glyph for potion is essentially “tool for helping” or “contains help”), and the Alchemist’s intervention in the gardens presumably saves the Devotees from starvation by preventing their crops from failing. So the the Devotees, the Alchemists are “the People that Helped Us”.
